Clare Collins
My name is Paul Stewart. In 2009 I will celebrate my 30th year as a journalist for News Limited. Throughout my career, I have worked with countless publicity and promotions people and companies in many areas for all manner of stories. I have no hesitation at all in saying Clare Collins would be up there in the top three all time best operators I have come across. She has a vast understanding of the Australian media, a great sense of what makes a news story or a cover story, is polite and prompt and always on time, passionate, enthusiastic and just a great all-rounder. Clare knows how to get the best out of a journalist without pushing them to the point where they lose interest.
A recent project that I worked on with Clare would never have achieved the fantastic results it did without her involvement and I am delighted to lend my name to endorse her work as I know first hand, how good she is at what she does.
